"We haven't done this in years… time flies, surprisingly it's been some years since I've done any solo shows, so lo and behold... that is what I'm going to do in April/May. I'll be trying out some new songs, and deconstructing some audience favs and some older beloved tunes in a relatively loving and spontaneous way. Do join me dear friends” - Ed Kuepper
With his bands The Saints and Asteroid Ekosystem taking precedence in recent times, plus a collaboration with Dirty Three drummer Jim White, it’s no wonder 2019 was the last time legendary Australian singer / songwriter Ed Kuepper toured nationally as a solo artist. But here we are, at last.
The tour comes off the back of a new album After the Flood, recorded with the afore mentioned Jim White in May 2023 and released this March 21 via Remote Control.
After The Flood features eight Kuepper originals digging on the material from his past; The Saints, Laughing Clowns and his own lengthy solo career.
“We took what Jim and I had been doing live and brought it into the studio. It was important that we captured the immediacy of what we’d been doing, that it wasn’t laboured over. Everything was laid down live”.
The first single for Ed and Jim is The Crying Dance. A Laughing Clowns track originally, released in 1982 on the 7” ep Sometimes, The Fire Dance. Hear it here
For the tour Ed will consider these tracks and more from his recent reissue campaign including Electrical Storm, Honey Steels Gold and Black Ticket Day plus new material and old favourites from the before time.
